Judge LIndsey's Address to So
ciety for Friendless.
Ilow Children Are Checked on
the Downward Road.
MANY ARE IN PRISON.
Says List of Youths in Peniten-
tiaries Is Surprising.
Trouble With the Country's
Criminal Courts.
At the opening session of the third
annual convention of the Kansas So
ciety for the Friendless, which was held
Tuesday evening at the First Metho
dist church In this city. Benjamin B.
LincJey, judge of the juvenile court of
Denver, Colo., delivered the principal
address, "Saving- the Children from
Crime" was the subject of Judge I.ind
eey's address, and it was particularly
Interesting to those who were present
t last night'3 meeting in view tf the
fact that an effort is to be made by
the members of the society to get a
Juvenile court law through at the next
session of the Kansas legislature. It is
thought that such a law would prove to
be a great help in the suppression of
crime among the young, and conse
quently Judge Lindsey's remarks and
advice upon the subject were received
with much enthusiasm. He said:
'"In order to make any noticpabla re
duction in the alarming statistics with
which we are confronted by sociologists,
nhowing that the average age of all the
criminals lodged in our prisons today
is less than 25 years, it is positively
necessary that we begin our work with
the boy at that age when he is easily
Influenced. Any one will tell you that
the most important part of a man's life
Is between the ages of 1U and 16 years.
It is at that time that his character
Is being moulded, and in order that he
shall develop into a good and useful
citizen it is necessary that the greatest
care be taken in regard to his environ
ments and his associates. If he is neg
lected and does not receive the proper
training and care at home his feet will
stray to that path which will in the end
land him at the doors of the peniten
tiary. When we stop to think of the
great numbers of boys who are allowed
to roam the streets their parents never
giving them a serious thought we
wonder why it is that there is not more
of them in the penitentiary today.
"Still, there are plenty of boys in the
penitentiary. If I had the time I could
give you a list of statistics that would
surprise you. The figures are alarming.
On the occasion of a recent visit to the
city of Atlanta, Ga., I made it a point
to investigate the records of the police
department at that place and I found
that out of 16,000 arrests made at that
place during the year previous to my
visit there, 4.000 of them were boys, six
teen years of age, or under. These fig
ures will no doubt surprise you, but
when I tell you that if the same pro
portion of the people of this country
over twenty years of age were arrested
as have been arrested under that age,
almost the entire population of this
country would be in the hands of the
law, you will be more surprised. It is
a fact, however, and it is to be regretted
that such conditions exist. The situa
tion is an alarming one, I tell you, and
one that should receive our serious con
federation. "How shall we do away with these
conditions is the question which now
presents itself. And it is not an easy
one to answer. I think, however, that
the best way to overcome these diffi
culties is to reconstruct the methods of
administering punishment to children
which have existed in the courts of this
country up to the present time. In the
past it has been the custom to pass
judgment upon children in the criminal

Judge of tha Natal Supreme
Court, Sends tha Following
RsmarkaDIe Testimonial
TO GUTIGURA
The World Is Cuticura's Field,
Used Wherever Civilization
Has Penetrated.
I desire to give my voluntary testi
mony to the beneficial effects of your
Cuticura Remedies. I have suffered
for some time from an excess of nric
acid In the blood; and since the middle
of last year, from a severe attack of
Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears
and neck and on one limb. I was for
several months under professional
treatments, but the remedies prescribed
were of no avail, and I -was gradually
becoming worse, my face was dread
fully disligured and I lost nearly all my
hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon
me to try the CaticurR Remedies and I
gave them a thorough trial with the
most satisfactory results. The disease
Boon began to disappear and my hair
commenced to grow again. A fresh
growth of hair is covering my head,
and my limb (although not yet quite
cored) is gradually improving. My wife
thinks so highly of your remedies that
she has been purchasing them in order
to make presents to other persons suf
fering from similar complaint, and,
as President of the Bible Women's
Society, has told the Bible women to
report if any case should come tinder
their notice when a poor person Is so
afflicted, so that your remedies may be
resorted to." n

courts where murderers, burglars and
other criminals of a like character are
tried, thereby branding the child as a
criminal however trivial the charge may
be. This is nut fair and in most cases
it has done more harm than good. The
people of this country, however, are
slowly awakening to the fact that a
Juvenilecourt is positively necessary and
in eleven states the juvenile court law
has leen passed by the legislature. All
of the principal cities of this country
support juvenile courts. Even in Eng
land the proposition is being considered
seriously and I see no good reason why
you people in Kansas should not have
the same thing.
"The great trouble with the criminal
courts of this country is the tendency
to take as little time as possible in
trying a case. The authorities do not
treat crime as seriously as they should
and there is a disposition on their part
to jump at conclusions and to pass
judgment hurriedly according to those
same conclusions. If a child is brought
into coHrt on the charge of taking an
apple or breaking into a box car down
on the railroad tracks it is immediate
ly classed as a thief or a burglar and
;is compelled to bear the disgrace and
! odium which attaches to those names.
This is not right and in the juvenile
! court at Denver you will never find
i such a thing. Where one boy is ar
! rested for a petty crime it is safe to
say that four other boys committed
! the same crime, but were not caught,
i In Chicago last year about 7,000 boys-
were arrested and if we multiply that
I number by 5 we will see that about
1 half the boys in that city-were in trou
ble of one kind or another. In fact
! it is really not necessary that boys
; should be punished severely for the
j petty crimes which they sometimes
commit. In most cases it will be found,
iif a thorough investigation is made,
I that the motive which a city boy has
! in taking an apple or breaking into a
box car, is exactly the same as that
i which prompts a country boy when he
I sneaks into an orchard or a melon
patch. But the city boy is often com
pelled to undergo a severe punishment
while the country boy goes scot-free.
"All this is simply to show that the
average boy who is brought into court
to receive judgment for some misde
meanor, is not really as bad as he is
cracked up to be. And if he is given
good treatment and is plainly shown
the error of his ways and how he may
mend them, as is done in the juvenile
courts, he will, as a rule, come out
all right in the end. I do not say, mind
you, that we are always successful
with the boys who are brought into
court at Denver. In some cases we
are not. But it is not often that a
boy who is sent to the reformatroy or the
industrial school is sent back to either
of those places for the second time."
Preceding the address of Mr. Lindsey,
Judge T. F. Garver, president of the
association, delivered his address. He
said:
"In the matter of legislation in the
interest of criminal reform, Kansas has
made some progress during the past
year. There is now upon the statute
books the indeterminate sentence law,
which repeals the former law requiring
the courts, in cases of conviction of of
fenses punishable by imprisonment in
the penitentiary, murder and treason
excepted, to sentence the criminal to a
definite term of imprisonment. The law
still fixes the minimum and maximum
number of years that any one must
serve; but the person convicted is sim
ply sentenced to serve for a torn not
less than the minimum nor more than
the maximum term, with the power of
parole and absolute discharge vested in
the board of directors and warden of
the state penitentiary. Similar laws
have been in operation In other states
for several years with favorable re
sults. Much of the success of this law,
as well as the usefulness of any law,
depends upon the honesty and good
judgment of officials. Any system will
work badly in the hands of dishonest
or incompetent men whose duty it is to
see to its execution. Perhaps we may
indulge the hope that at some day, not
too distant, the public institutions may
h( mannered bv men whose fitness for
place is not gauged merely by their
success as party organizers ami pum.t-

Ministers Table Motion Acknowledg
ing Gift of Organs.
Germantown, Pa., Jan. 27. Andrew
Carnegie's liberality in aiding churches
to procure organs is not consiuereu
groat enough by Protestant Episcopal
ministers of the Germantown convoca-
i tion to warrant their sending him the
thanks of the entire body for his benen
cence to two of their churches.
This was shown at the regular auar
terly meeting of the convocation in St.
George's chapel, when the Rev. Joseph
T. Wright, of the Grace church, in
Hulmeville. made a motion that a let
ter be sent to Mr. Carnegie expressing
the gratitude of the convocation for his
having given $1,000 to St. Andrew's
. mission, in Coopers vine, ana .uu to sc.
j Andrew's church, in Yardley.
i Such action was disapproved by many
i of the ministers, on the grounds that,
while Mr. Carnegie had aided these two
j churches, he had also refused other
pleas for help, and that those who had
made such ideas would have to vote
against such a motion.
Tho Rev. A. J. Arkin was one of the
foremost in the opposition. "If such a
motion is carried," he said, "I shall
have to offer another motion, that the
convocation censure Mr. Carnegie for
having refused other pleas."
The motion was laid on the tabla.
Builds Saloon on Ice Field.
Menominee, Mich., Jan. 27. A novel

Defense Makes a Point.
Eldora, la., Jan. 27. The defense in
the case of E. S. Blydenburgh, charged
with poisoning his third wife, scored a
point today in the evidence of Dr. Lib
son, of Chicago, the expert who testi
fied in the famous Luetgert case the
Chicago sausage manufacturer charged
with murdering his wife. Dr. Gibson
analyzed the embalming fluid used by
the undertaker in preparing- Mrs. Bly
denburgh's body, and testified that iz
contained a large percentage of arsenic.

Women and Children Crushed
and Trampled Upon.
Accident Was Due to a Quarrel
Orer a Fare.
St. Louis, Jan. 27. More than 20 per
sons were injured, some of them fa
tally, when two cars on the Broadway
lino collided today.
INJURED.
John Barrington, badly crushed, in
ternal injuries; probably fatal.
Walter Scvernteritt, internal injuries,
serious.
Frank Grill, employe of the city water
department, scalp cut, nose broken.
J. H. Hobelman, serious.
William Miller, serious.
Thomas McGoven, ankles broken,
serious.
George Decker, feet crushed, chest
crushed.
Frank Alter, slight.
Alfred Koepfer, slight.
Joseph Zermy, slight.
George Baker, slight.
Christopher Juergin, motorman of
front car, perhaps fatally.

Clara Bock, slight.
George Clews, slight.
N. Caffner, slight.
B. Schener, slight.
Miss Ida Knaus. slight.
Lizzie Clifton, slight.
Miss Julia C. Doerner, slight.
Both cars were northbound and trav
eling in a dense fog. The accident oc
curred while the front car was station
ary, owing to a quarrel between the con
ductor and a passenger over a fare. The
second car was coming at high speed.
When less than 100 feet away, the front
car loomed up through the fog but it
was useless to try to avoid a crash.
None of the 100 passengers on the two
cars knew that the accident was im
pending until the crash came. The sec
ond car crushed its way through the
rear of the front car until it reached
almost the middle of it.
The dozen or more passengers on the
rear platform of the front car ware
jammed tightly under the rear car.
The second for half its distance was
crushed and the passengers inside were
thrown about while showers of broken
glass fell upon th2m.
A panic ensued. The less seriously
hurt began to fight to escape. Children
and women were trampled on and the
weaker ones were beaten against the
wreckage.
The collision took place within two
blocks of the street car barns and em
ployes there hurried to the scene, re
moving the injured as quickly as pos
sible in the confusion resulting from the
cries of the victims and the dense fog.
The most seriously hurt were removed
to the car barn where they were cared
for by physicians and later taken to
hospitals.
GETS A BONE LOST IN '64.
Civil War Veteran Becovers Missing
Part of Anatomy.
TTnlontown. Pa.. Jan. 27. After near
ly forty years, Jacob S. Miller, an old
soldier of this city, has just received
a piece of bone taken from his left
shoulder by the late Dr. Norman S.
Teal, of Kendallville, Ind., on July zi,
1S6-1 at the battle of Peach Tree creek.
Atlanta. Ga.. when Mr. Miller was
wounded. The piece of bone is about
three inches long.
Although a terrific wind storm was
rae-intr at the time, the surgeon oner
ated in the open air at night by torch
light. Dr. Teal was much gratified over
his success, and after the war, when he
lectured on surgery, he frequently ex
hibited tha piece of bone before stu
dent. Nearly thirty years ago Mr. Miller
asked JJr. Teal for the piece or Done,
but the doctor would not part with it.
Dr. Teal died about five years ago, and
recently his son, Dr. George A. Teal,
consented to return the bone to Mr,
Miller.
Mr. Miller was a corporal in company

QUIT COFFEE
Said the Great German Specialist.
It disappoints some people to be told
that coffee causes the disease. But it is
best to look squarely at facts and set
the face towards health, for that's more
fun than anything else anyhow. A Cin
cinnati man consulted a Berlin Bhvsi
cian on nervous diseases and savs:
"Four years ago I was an habitual
coffee drinker, having used it for 25
years, and being naturally of a nervous
temperament I became almost a nerv
ous wreck, greatly suffering from in
somnia, almost constantly constipated
and weighing only 128 pounds.
"I consulted physicians and took
medicine all the time, but had no relief.
. About three years and a half ago I
: went abroad, and while in Berlin heard
; frequently of a great physician. Prof,
j Mendel, an authority on nervous
j trouble, so I resolved to consult him.
i "Prof. Mendel surprised me very
much by asking at once if I was a
coffee drinker, and on my telling him
I used it two or three times a day, he
said, 'It is poison.' After carefully ex
amining me he told me there was noth
ing the matter with me whatever but
what could be entirely cured in thirty
dfys by letting coffee and other stimu
lants alone and dieting.
"I had a hard time following his ad
vice. I did not know what to do until
I came home and told my wife, who
got some Postum. We tried it but at
first did not like it; then we went over
the directions on the package together
and found had not boiled it long
enough. That ws the beginning of the
i end of my trouble for the Postum was
j delicious after that and I drank it reg-
uiariy anu it neipea irom tne start.
"In a very short time I began to feel
much better and in the last three years
I haven't been absent from business
one hour on account of ill health for
my health is fine now. I have a good
appetite, sleep well and weigh 173
pounds." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Cretk. Mich.
Any nervous person who drinks
coffee will feel better from ten davs"
use of Postum in place of coffee. Trial
easily proves this. There's a reason.
Look in each uackage for a copy of
the famous little book, "The Road to
Wellville."

We lean upon the graveyard stone,
Uncheered, unkissed, my heart and I.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 27. Moncure
Robinson and Sarah Sisson Abell, mem
bers of two of Baltimore's richest and
most fashionable families, have eloped
to Chester, Pa., where they were mar
ried by Mayor Houston. They came to
Chester, where Robinson's brother-in-law
has a country home, and the wed
ding had been arranged to take place
from a church of which the bride is a
member, when a telegram from the
higher ecclesiastics in Baltimore put a
stop to the ceremony. The police also
appeared with telegrams commanding
them to stor the wedding. But the
party appeared before the mayor and
satisfied him that the license was reg
ular. The bride's mother appeared a
few minutes too late. Differences of
religion led to the interference.

! this morning, "in the impression that
j colored people receive the greater share

facts are that owing to a rule I estab
lished some time ago, I am troubled
very little by colored people. I ma'de a
rule that every one receiving clothing
or anything else at my hands should
' render some service in return. The col
I ored people do not take kindly to this

I for anything. They go to the poor oom-

"Faust."
Mr. Morrison has tried for years to di
vorce himself from the role of "Mpnhis-
! to." but he has failed. He put out a fine
i production of "Frederick The Great." but
the people would not go to see him in
such numbers as went to "Faust." Mr.
! Morrison is tired of playing his satanic
j majesty, but he can not stn; no more
j than Joseph Jefferson can abandon "Rip
1 VanWinkle." But now Mr. Morrison savs
' positively he will not apiear after this
season in laust. i.ns re oeoa table.
"Kaust" last night was the same as
ever. Probably everyone in the audience
had seen it before and knew just what to
expect. Topeka people refused to go to
see it last night. The story Is growing
too old to be interesting.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The Dickinson county primaries Tues
day afternoon went for Hoch, as was
conceded by the friends of Bailey. The
convention in that county is in session
this afternoon.
A dispatch from Atchison says: "Op
ponents of Charlie Curtis are now
claiming that Shawnee county is not
rightfully in the First congressional
district, and threatening to have the
matter tested. They say that the act
of congress giving Kansas an eighth
congressman provided that such addi
tional representative should be elected
by the state at large, 'and the other
representatives by the districts now
prescribed by law until the legislature
of such state, in the manner herein pre
scribed, shall redistrict the state.' That
act was passed in 1891, and the state
has since elected its eighth congress
man at large. It is claimed that the
Populist legislature of 1897, without any
attempt to redistrict the state, changed
the First district so as to Include
Shawnee county, and that while the
legislature had an undisputed right to
redistrict the entire state, and provide
another district, it had no right, and
could not under the law, make the
change it did."
The Labette county Republican con
vention has been called for February 8,
with primaries on February 6.
The Chautauqua county primaries have
been called for next Monday, with the
convention February 4.
A concerted move was made last
night to organize Hoch clubs in Tope
ka, but there is very little said about
any of the meetings. The Third Ward
club was organized at the Copeland,
but the attendance was extremely
small. The following are given as the
officers elected in five wards:
First ward A. M. Baird, president;
J. TV. Priddy, secretary.
Second ward James Mullin, presi
dent; A. D. Brower, secretary.
Third ward H. M. Philips, president;
T. A. McNeal, secretary.
Fourth ward T J. Anderson, presi
dent; Sam Rice, secretary; C. N. Mil
ler, treasurer.
Fifth ward W. L. Osborn, president;
T. J. Hurley, secretary.
Oakland Oscar Neil, president; Reese
Van Sant, secretary; E. Wilson, treas
urer. Atchison Globe: There is no sincerity
in the political game; no honesty. In
Jackson county there was a square fight,
all the conditions being agreed to in ad
vance. The Broderick men elected 76
delegates to the county convention, and
the Curtis men 46. The convention met
today, to ins.truct for Broderick for con
gress. The Broderick candidate for chair
man received all the Broderick votes, es
was expected. Thereupon the Curtis del
egates got up, and walked out, and or
ganized a rival convention. The result
will be Curtis will now be able to organ
ize the Horton convention to nominate a
candidate for congress, which he cannot
do with Jackson county against him.
The strength of Curtis and anti-Curtis
will be even, admitting that Dan Anthony
carries Leavenworth county and the sol
diers' home. Thpre being a bolt in Atch
ison county, Atchison county will not be
represpntPd in the organization. This
gives Curtis control, whatever the result
in Leavenworth and at the soldiers'
home. He disfranchises the voters of
Jackson county, and the game is his.
We'll bet Jim Chisham thoueht of it.

" OLD JI31 CHISIi 51."
The Bolter Who Runs Atchison Poli
tics and Her Postoffice.
From the Atchison Globe.
Whatever happens in Atchison county,-
Jim Chishman controls the Republi
can party. He aparently lost in the
old Bailey-Curtis fight, but slipped off
while the other fellows were not
watching, "fixed" himself with Curtis,
and was appointed postmaster. This
disgusted the Republicans, and at the
next election they defeated both of the
Curtis candidates for the legislature.
Still, this didn't affect Chisham; he
was postmaster all right.
Then the Republicans concluded that
they would beat Curtis for the delega
tion from this county to the Holton
convention. They had the votes, but
they hadn't Chisham.
Chisham saw that he would be de
feated in a fair contest, so he manipu
lated tne committee. He believed that
Curtis would control the Holton con
vention. Chisham made up his mind
to bolt, and run primaries to suit him
self, when he would have no opposi
tion. This he will do, and his dele
gates will be recognized at Holton.
Therefore, Atchison county will have
nothing whatever to dq with nominat
ing a congressman from this district.
It has a candidate for congress, and a
show to nominate him, but an Atchi
son man will beat him out of it, in
spite of the fact that the people are for
an Atchison county man for congress.
To state the case in another wav:
Outside of Atchison county, Curtis
will control the convention that will
nominate a candidate for congress
from this district. Atchison county
has never had a congressman, and has
a chance to win this year. It has a
strong candidate. It can carry the
Atchison county delegation for him,
and thus control the Holton conven
tion. Curtis knows it. Curtis has an
Atchison county manager, who is os
tensibly postmaster, but whose busi
ness is really to look after Curtis' po
litical interests. This manager gets up
a row in the meeting of the Republican
county committee, and "bolts." There
will be two delegations from Atchison
county to the Holton convention.
Neither will take any part in organiz
ing the Holton convention. Curtis be
ing in control of the Holton convention,
will recognize the delegation instructed
for him, although it does not represent
the county, and is against the Atchison
county candidate, for congress. This is
politics.
In politics, the main print is to have
a good manipulator. The trouble in
Atchison county is that no one can
manipulate as well as Jim Chisham.
Jim Chisham is what they used to
call a Xullifier. That is, the people
want to do a certain thing, and Jim
Chisham sees- that they do not accom
plish it: he nullifies their action. The
people want an Atchison county man
jn congress, and they now have a
chance to accomplish this ambition,
were not Jim Chisham in the way to
that thev have no renresentatlon
! in the nominating convention.
Tou cant blame Chisham eo much;
it's all in the game, but we wonder
that the people stand it. Chisham was
not a member of the Republican county
central committee,, which met yester
day, but made five speeches, and ran
things, and finally, at a signal, he left
the hall, and the bolters followed him.
It's a wonder it didn't occur to some
member of the committee to ask Chis
ham: "How did you get in the game?"
Hypnotism is a big thimr in politics.
Chitham has it. The opposition shook
